An example of a small library with usable interface that is based on ffmpeg code: libbinkdec from http://homepage.eircom.net/~duncandsl/avp/

Browsable source of libbinkdec: https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/tree/master/neo/libs/libbinkdec

@burgerbecky (one of the original devs for the formats) told me last night that she has code she can release. Can someone verify if the mve files packaged with D3 work with ffmpeg?

Implementations from falltergeist (Fallout 2 reimplementation):

https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist/tree/develop/src/Format/Acm https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist/tree/develop/src/Format/Mve

ACM documentation available on TeamX site: https://teamx.ru/site_arc/docs/acm_format_en.rar

And there are also libfalltergeist library with mve and acm code distributed under the MIT license

Where is ACM used?

Interplay around this time (1997-2000) had used ACM generally for every sound effect and music stream. This included some Bioware games as well

I have an MVE playback implementation, based on FFmpeg that I used for Redneck Rampage Rides Again in the NBlood project: https://github.com/nukeykt/NBlood/blob/master/source/rr/src/playmve.cpp

http://homepage.eircom.net/~duncandsl/avp/ is also my site but the code repository is no longer accessible, I'll get that fixed! cool to see the code is used elsewhere though! :)

@sirlemonhead Nice!
I integrated libbinkdev into rbdoom3bfg back in the day, IIRC integrating it it was pretty straightforward, much nicer than the code using FFPMEG they had before :)

mpv (which uses ffmpeg/libav) can play all of those files (though it seems a bit confused about the length and seeking is glitchy)

But if Becky can release the original codec source that would be even better, of course :)

Can also confirm ffmpeg can read the MVE files, I just tried converting the intro to an MP4 and it plays back just fine with video and audio intact:

There might be MIT-license-friendly MVE decoding code, if Velyn can dig it up: https://cohost.org/rohit/post/5583600-descent-3-s-source-c#comment-fa05b37b-7995-4735-b9cc-df5e3ee7560d

Apparently it was written when porting FreeSpace2 to Linux (http://svn.icculus.org/freespace2/trunk/src/movie/ also has source, but AFAIK the source in that repo isn't under a proper open source license).
I also added those links to the list in the first post.

DanielGibson avatar DanielGibson commented on September 17, 2024

And there are also libfalltergeist library with mve and acm code distributed under the MIT license

That's cool!
Added it to the list :)

DanielGibson avatar DanielGibson commented on September 17, 2024

By the way, a nice side-effect of Descent3 being under GPLv3 now: Basically all the code linked above (except for the one from FreeSpace2) can be integrated without causing licensing problems :)

icculus avatar icculus commented on September 17, 2024

Some proprietary sound and video libraries from Interplay have been stripped out (the ACM and MVE format).

Is the MVE stuff not lib/win/Mvelibw.lib ?

And also, the .asm code in the repo, ./libmve/mvelibwa.asm is both the source code to that library and contains a copyright from Interplay and says "Confidential" on it.

This was not in the original source dump that Loki was working from, but it was added to Loki's tree later (under the assumption the repo was never going to be public), and I'm wondering if this is how it ended up in the public source tree.

Regardless, unless this is totally cool, I would strongly urge you to remove the .asm code at a minimum, and maybe force-push the repo so it isn't even recoverable from commit history.

But this might be totally cool as-is; I don't know all the details.

midnite8177 avatar midnite8177 commented on September 17, 2024

I have memories of porting mvelibwa.asm to C/C++ for the initial Linux port before we handed it off to Loki. I do agree with Ryan's recommendations.

JeodC avatar JeodC commented on September 17, 2024

Outright removing those files doesn't interfere with building: https://github.com/JeodC/Descent3/actions/runs/8867313091

This can be done immediately, but @kevinbentley may need to be the one to do it as repository owner. I can give it a shot though and see if git complains.

Edit: It worked on the branches, but main and d3-historical are protected so Kevin will need to intervene for it.

Closing this issue as ACM already implemented, MVE development will be tracked in #253.
